Stomping Grounds

1st 4:  Spectacle Pod (Dimorphocarpa wislizeni)
Back to the lower desert for Dr. K, Willow and me this morning.  We followed our regular route seeing only (we think) Two-White-Dogs-Lady in the far distance northwest of us.  48F felt a tad cool, but both Dr. K and I were overdressed.  We're supposed to reach 84F this afternoon--far too warm for late February.  I went shopping at Albertsons after the trek, and Dr. K went to Toucan Market after I got back.

Pretty images of the Scorpionweed and the Spectacle Pod flowers. My favorite is the last image you posted.
